This place offers everything you need, and depending on what you're looking for, you have options. Not for everything though. Typical beauty salon carrying hair supplies, nail supplies, makeup, skin care products, hygiene and toiletry items, etc. I came to pick up hair supplies, and they had all I needed. On the way to the counter, I grabbed a color correction concealer, (which works). They also have shaving razors but not the venus refills I needed. Great location at the N/W 30th ave stop. Will definitely be back. read more

See all

Bom atendimento e bons preços, precos especiais para cabeleireiros recomendo a loja e os produtos

I do no recommend this place they over charge with tax and blame the system. Rude females and laugh in your face when u ask why. Very unprofessional and not work ready at all. They need to work at the fruit stand. read more

Solana Beauty Supply - The store front of the beauty supply that overcharges. Rude females should fire them chicks. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place always have what I need and either the discount because I'm a regular it's amazing

Was looking for some cheap lip gloss and chapstick. It seemed like they were running low on items and some items were missing. I was able to pick up 2 matte lip colors and 1 lipgloss. There was no line so I was able to cash out right away. read more

I really like the variety of products they offer but omg the people who work there are so rude I'm honestly scared to go in lolll

I agree! Solana is the best!!!!! We're very lucky to have a place like this on 30th Avenue, and so near the train! I went in once looking for Bed Head hair wax by TIGI. They had virtually every other product by TIGI, so I was surprised they didn't sell the hair wax. It's a popular enough product, but usually very hard to find. I told the guy (tall, good looking Asian man -- VERY friendly and helpful) that I was looking for Bed Head hair wax and I suggested they should carry it as it's a good seller. THE VERY NEXT TIME I went to Solana... Guess what I found on the shelves! A well stocked supply of the product I wantd! Another time I came in looking for parrafin wax and a heating unit to melt it with. I got a packet of great lavender antibacterial wax, but they sold me the wrong heating unit. After a few VERY messy attempts at using it (ultimately resulting in my realization that I got the wrong heater) I brought it back to Solana. Again, I dealt with the same man. Tall, good looking Asian guy. He's the one who sold me the product. He immediately offered me a credit card refund... it was only for in-store credit, but I was still very pleased considering their No Refunds policy posted at the checkout. I told him I was going out of town so I wouldn't be back for a few weeks. Two weeks or so later, I come back to Solana just to browse. Not even thinking about my parrafin heater... The same guy recognized me (God, how I LOVE mom-and-pop shops!!!!!) and immediately approcahed me to give me an update on the heater. He said it would be a few more days. I came back in a few days and the same guy was very sad to tell me they could not order the product I wanted, so then and there he gave me my money back. WHAT A GENTLEMAN! THISSSSSSSS is how you do business, people! Take a note from Solana if you run a shop in Astoria. They know what they're doing and they make their customers WANT TO COME BACK! And for those of you in Astoria looking for a place to get all your stuff (And I mean all!!! These guys have EVERYTHING! And at GOOD PRICES, too!) You'll be very glad you stopped in!!! read more

I like them. They have everything that a beauty supply should have. I get all the stuff that I use to do my own highlights from here. They also have knowledgeable staff that can give you advice. :) read more

I love Solana. Not only do I buy items there for my personal use, but I have found it to be an excellent resource for buying all manner of items for both male and female actors I cast in my plays. I can find hair color, wigs, lipsticks and eyeliners for different looks, bandanas, earrings, etc. No, I cannot buy every last item I need but I cannot do that anywhere. But if I find in a pinch that we need something, it is easy to get to this store from the theatre district and find it. read more

I really like Solana too. They have a great array of cheap, moderate and more costly beauty stuff - I could spend hours in here. The hair coloring section is great and the colors/developers/accessories are really not expensive at all. read more

One stop shop for all your hair care products and hair accessories. Some of the items are a little pricey compared to other stores. You will definitely find what your looking for. read more

This store closes early ALL THE TIME. I have been turned away several times when I show up within the last hour of business. I don't know why I bother. I gave two stars purely because if I go midday i might have some luck. read more

Morons ! They actually didn't know what astringent is. One of the owners thinking it might be a language thing got some young girl who was working there to speak to me but she knew less. Please ! This is like owning a hardware store and not knowing what a screw driver is. read more

Cheaper than Ricky's. As a matter of fact, I prefer places like this over Ricky's. You walk in, find what you need, purchase, walk out. Simple as that. read more

I like this place because they sell basic, low-end toiletries like Ivory soap and Suave shampoo but they also sell salon grade products. I bought some MOP (Modern Organic Products) shampoo from here. The selection of products is much better than the run down Eckerd's a few doors down. read more

Well-stocked, low-priced beauty supply store with higher end brands than the beauty supplies in the Bronx and Lower Westchester. They carry Essie and OPI nail polish, and Kerastase hair products. The hair color section is well-stocked and they always have popular colors like black and dark brown, which are annoyingly sold out most places. Their color and brand selection can only be rivaled by Ricky's NYC. Check out their wide selection of brushes. They sell both Creative and a less expensive line that is so reasonable for the quality. Decorative clips, falsies, and cute mirror compacts....I can kill an hour in there. read more

I come here to buy Essie nail polishes (the best brand, IMO, better than Chanel) and other implements. Solana has a great selection of high-end hair products, I am pretty sure they're authentic. I've purchased Redken, Bumble and Bumble, and a couple others here. The store is quite cramped and crowded, and some of the low-end products look suspect (i.e. proctor and gamble soaps with old labels) but much cheaper than Rite Aid next door. Service is brisk, but friendly. I will continue to go here for my beauty products instead of frequenting a chain. read more

Great selection of high end and lower end beauty products, and not overburdened by a ridiculous wig section that few ever utilize.

Good prices on color--waaaay cheaper than Ricky's on Steinway, and has a broad variety of products, including hair wefts, wigs, and wig clips. My go-to. Hours are good, and if you're a professional, show them your license and get a 10% off Professional Discount card. read more

Definitely one of the more affordable beauty supply stores in the area. Their stock is pretty good and they do carry quite a bit of stuff for such a small space. read more

They have everything you need, even Essie nail polish! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Nice selection. Sometimes they don't speak the best English. Not many organic/health products but it's fun to go into.

This place does not have a great selection at all. I came for a makeup brush and they only had 3 to choose from. As far as the makeup selection, they've got your basics (maybelline etc) but nothing to really get excited over. The prices are no better than your cvs prices. Don't make the long trip to go here. Totally not worth it. read more

Tis... alright. While they have more beauty supplies than your basic drugstore, I've seen a bigger selection at other supply stores, namely Jet in Brooklyn. They didn't even have a big nail polish area, and i would say no more than 25 Essie colors... come on people! Essie has like a million shades! I also had a question about hair dyes and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come out from the back to help me. Then as he told me what i should get, a gay customer (yes, i have radar), told me that i actually should go a different route. Now WHO, prey tell, do you think i should trust? Beauty supply worker, or gay dude buying hair dye? Uhm, hellooooo?! Btw, thanks gay dude! You were soooo right on! Can we be besties?! read more

Wayyyyyy too expensive!!! It doesnt make sense for eye lashes that cost me $3 in another beauty supply to cost me $6 there! They're not that stocked on weaves and other things that you can find elsewhere. They're friendly and helpful people but way too overpriced. read more

Essie nail polishes for $6.99...a little less than the regular $8.00. Some items are overpriced, but shampoos, make-up, nail care, or beauty products are amazing. They have both common, well-known items as well as natural and organic or international beauty products. Highly recommend! read more

Nice staff with a great selection of products and hair tools! So happy to have found this store ... now I don't have to go into Manhattan to shop at Ulta or Sephora. read more

I've been a customer for over 5 years. But, I will never be back. It's always been a bit rude in Solana. I overlooked it because.. well, it's NY and also, I knew what I needed already so not having someone to offer help or be helpful wasn't a deal breaker. But, today I saw the greed excuse me GREED. I purchased two bottles of hair dye, both marked for the usual price of $3.99 only to have the girl at the counter ring them both up for $4.49. When I showed her price clearly marked price on the bottle for $3.99 she said, 0h, that's the TAX. And when I explained to her that was absolutely not the tax. She then said that the price went up to $4.49 per bottle. I again showed her the bottle which had clearly been priced by her store for $3.99 and she again said no the price is now $4.99 and that's what you have to pay. Seriously? You lie saying it's TAX and then you show your greed? Not my fault your store went up on all their prices and didn't label products with the correct ones. It's not even the money it's the crazy rudeness I was given with having to pay more than what was priced. GO TO OPTIMA ON STINEWAY. Way nicer staff and prices are slightly less. 32-21 Steinway St read more
